## Lore Categories

**Cosmology:** the structure of existence — gods, planes, afterlife, the nature of souls — and who or what currently holds power over each

**Magic system:** how magic works, its source, its cost, and why it is both sought and feared

**History of catastrophe:** the true account of what happened in [PAST_CATASTROPHE] — not the myth, but the fact

**The myth:** how ordinary people explain [PAST_CATASTROPHE] — what they believe, who they blame, and what moral the story is meant to teach

**Power factions:** 3 groups with conflicting interpretations of the lore — beliefs, agendas, and what each will do to be proven right

**Story seeds:** 3 specific lore elements a protagonist discovering the truth would find, and what each one reveals

Write each section as authoritative lore — the kind that feels translated from an in-world text.
